Abstract
Abstract Intralogistics contributes significantly to the proper functioning of business processes. When designing and solving intralogistics systems, it is necessary to take into account the specific conditions in the given enterprise. The technical design, as well as the composition of the trolleys in the design of the transport system, must respect the specificities of the goods transported as well as shelf life and quantity. The study presents, for example, the implementation of a tugger train into an intercompany system with a solution procedure that is adapted to specific operating conditions and ensures the smooth functioning of the supply process. It is a principle based on the use of a simulation model. During its creation, three original sequences were developed in the programming language SimTalk. Their application decreases the use of blocks from the simulation program by up to 65% and it was possible to model more detailed processes that would not be possible in terms of functionality by using classical blocks. Fifteen directions of the language SimTalk were applied in their creation. Two variables of the type Integer, two variables of the type Object, and one variable of the type Real were defined.
Highlights
Tugger trains have become an important transport element in internal logistics [1]
As Kolář states in his study [2], the reason for the implementation of tugger trains for internal logistics is greater efficiency of the supply process
The use of a tugger train for internal logistics increases the volume of goods transported and handling performance [3]
Summary
Tugger trains have become an important transport element in internal logistics [1]. The supply of production and assembly lines became more efficient after their. One tugger train system can supply multiple workplaces, saving several additional means of handling technology. The use of a tugger train for internal logistics increases the volume of goods transported and handling performance [3]. The tugger train system consisting of a tractor and tow trucks (trolleys) can be more efficient in supplying production and assembly lines than the fastest forklift, says Petřík [7]. One train system that supplies material to multiple workplaces can save several additional means of handling technology, which is usually oversized for the given use [8]. The use of tugger trains can significantly reduce the costs associated with the material operation of production and assembly lines [11]. The contribution presents the procedure for choosing a route using a tugger train in the field of internal logistics in automotive conditions
